Swimming Hijabis

[qatarperegrine]

From my sister's local paper: there are arguments going on in Oxford over whether Muslim women should be able to swim in hijab.

Aren't there burqinis in Oxford?

I was almost too afraid to check-out those burqinies, the combination of the concepts of burqah and bikini was just brain-frying. :-)

In Israel, in areas with large Orthodox communities, you can easily find swimming pools and beaches with separate hours/days for men and women. Even so, some women wear the strangest outfits in th water. But taking a swim in full Burqah?? I just can't parse that.
